A recent study, published in Neurology, found that people with routine jobs that require little mental stimulation between the ages of 30 and 60 are 66% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment and 37% more likely to develop dementia after age 70, compared with those in more mentally stimulating jobs.
For the study, researchers from Oslo University Hospital in Norway analyzed the health and occupational data of 7,000 Norwegians who were followed from age 30 to age 60.

Among the individuals, those with more routine jobs included cleaners, guards, construction workers and postal workers. Those with more mentally stimulating jobs included lawyers, doctors, accountants and teachers.
Trine Edwin, the researcher who led the study, told CNN that "the results show the value of having an occupation that requires more complex thinking as a way to preserve memory and thinking in old age." She added that "the workplace is really important for promoting cognitive health."
